Indignation
They sort of snuck this one in late-summer, and no one paid much attention. A few critics did, and it garnered some solid reviews. James Schamus is an award-winning screenwriter, making his feature debut as a director here. Philip Roth is one of our finest novelists, of course, and “Indignation” is based on his novel […]
The Cronenberg Chronicle-Phase Nineteen: Maps to the Stars (2015)
And here we are again. It’s been a long time coming, for a film that I was certain would see a NYC area release, at some point during 2014. Now, “Maps to the Stars” did open at Cannes almost a year ago, where it garnered Julianne Moore the Best Actress Award from the festival. It […]

David Cronenberg’s “Maps to the Stars” trailer arrives!
I’m so excited I can barely contain myself. With no word yet on a North American release date for David Cronenberg’s 19th feature film release, at least we can revel in the reality that a trailer has finally been presented! It has French subtitles, and it’s strictly for adults only—but it’s thrilling to get a […]
David Cronenberg’s “Maps to the Stars” gets the green light!!!
It’s not easy being a Cronenberg lover, so it must be far from simple being David Cronenberg himself. The now septuagenarian filmmaker(he turned 70 last month)has been struggling to cast and finance his latest project for months—what else is new. It must be wonderful to be Steven Spielberg, Martin Scorsese—or even Michael Bay—and get your […]
